- MMAScoops.com is reporting that former WWE champion Stone Cold Steve
Austin broke the nose of MMA fighter Paul Lazenby while filming a fight
scene for his upcoming movie 'Damage' in mid last week. Lazenby bled for
twenty minutes and received two nice black eyes apart from a broken nose
thanks to the Austin left hook. Austin was said to be upset with what
happened however Lazenby was cool about it and said it was a complete
accident. The Rattlesnake decided to make some fun of the situation and
while medics were taking care of the MMA fighter, Austin decided to put his
arm in a sling and put an ice pack on his hand and told them he needed to go
to the hospital to check up on his bruised knuckles!
